The scathing attack on James Russell
Lowell, in the North American Review
for April, is the one topic of conversation
in literary circles. 1t cannot be so assert
ed of political circles, for Mr.. Lowell has
long since ceased to be of any Importance
in political life. where he is regarded as
"a lost leader" In his young manhood,
Mr.. Lowell held his torch lighted that its
light is now quenched is perhaps due,
principally, to his failure to sufficiently
recognize the importance, one may even
say the responsibility, of conviction, and
of moral sincerity. Schiller's advice was
"Be true to the dreams of thy youth"
Mr. Lowell had not only his youthful
dreams. but his deep convictions. The
man who wrote these lines
Then TO side with Truth Is noble, when we share
her wrttched crust,
Ere the cause bring fame and profit and It's pros
porous to be just
had the vision. Ideal integrity revealed
herself to him, and he felt the full slgni
fcance OF the enduring greatness OF moral
heroism; yet. alter ''blushing honors''
have laid thick upon him, the scathing
arraignment of the leading critical maya
zine of America follows, and no one dare
say it is wholly unjust Boston Traveller.

A Political Canard.
Mr.. WHIrELAw REID READS AND DENIES
BIT OF GOSSIP ABOUT HIMSELF.

New YORK, April ESPECIAL One OF
the topics of political gossip to night was the
following Washington despatch published
in the last edition of the Evening Post: "a
friend of Murat Halstead in this city is au-
thority for the statement that Mr.. Halstead
has lately received from Whitelaw Reid
letter asserting that the time had come at last
for Mr.. Blaine to let 60 his grip upon the
republican party, as far as the presidency is
concerned, and for all hands to turn IN and
nominate John Sherman. The latter adds
that all that is necessary to cause the Tribune
to swing into line is the positive assurance
that Mr.. Sherman is going into the conven-
ton with a solid delegation from Ohio. This
letter was, of course, not intended for publ
cation; but, as the Washington friend OF
Mr.. Halstead is also strong friend OF Sena-
tor Sherman, he has circulated the joyful
news among few chosen friends as evidence
that the Sherman boom is not at all on the
wane."
The Press correspondent sought for infor'
nation both at Mr.. Whitelaw Reds office
and house this evening, but the gentle man
was not to be found About midnight, how
ever, he sent the following message from his
residence: "The only knowledge Mr.. Reid
has of the letter to Mr.. Halstead he has de-
rived from the Evening Posts Washington
despatch"

Governor BOdwelTs Veto.

We think those who have doubted the
right OF Governor Bodwell to veto the
medical registration bill after signing 1t,
claiming that when he did sign the bill it
became a law, have failed to even casual
ly read the Constitution of our State, or to
consult the Revised Statutes. The Gov
ernor has five days after it shall have been
presented to him, unless the adjournment
prevents IFS return, in which to consider
any bill. If he signs it and the Secretary
of State complies with section 4, chapter
| of the Revised Statutes, then it becomes
law, but within the five days he may
sign it, erase his name. resign it and re-
erase it as many times as be sees fit to
change his mind, if the section referred
to has not been complied with The mere
signing does not make it law; it must
be signed and public proclamation made
of the signature. Section referred to
declares. "When public act is approved
by the Governor the Secretary of State
shall give written notice thereof to the
presiding officers of the Senate and House,
describing it by its title. and the date of
its approval, which shall be entered in the
journal of each House." This was not
done in the case of the medical registra-
ton bill it was done in the case of every
other act and resolve approved by the
Governor.

morrow be celebrated throughout the civ

and disciple of the great Teacher and
Savior of mankind. it is most fitting that
the supreme event in the history of the

who receive the numberless blessings
therefrom derived Not only should this
day be observed by ceremonies of form
but by true feelings of gratitude and
of a sense of the importance
of the event solemnized. In
this war ard no other can there be derived
the benefit which should come to every
sincere worshiper. Let the tidings OF
"Peace upon earth, good will to mem

common observance. Let no one forget

have kept clean His temple.
AS Odd Fellows our constant effort and search
is after truth. All truth is the pulse of the heart
or God. One truth we have learned is this: that
all men are children of our Heavenly Parent,
whom to love supremacy is our first great duty.
To do this effectively we must love each other
We need not adopt strange or extreme opinions.
Truth never lies in such We must be select in
our membership. One unworthy or uncongenial
member IS clog, and many such make the i'm

Odd Fellowship is q solemn bar of decision to
all who approach it. No man is ever the same

Leaving the subordinate lodge, we now

was then brought in.
